The pre-AFSNES I.

Is the success of our orders dependant on their quality or luck or what?

It naturally depends on a lot of stuff. Actual feasibility counts for a lot, though. As I had already said before; judging from the orders, many of you seem to seriously overestimate the durability of any given political order, and generally fail to account for friction, as well as the simple fact that updates span over several centuries. Which tends to render the best-laid plans that failed to properly account for those things simply irrelevant.

Although, I would claim that you, Niklas, didn't really get nothing out of what you wanted. The church did prove its durability, for instance, and most of the "demon-cults" within the territories under Neo-Akkadian control had been eliminated by now. The various military advances were likewise made, with new advanced anti-cavalry weapons and tactics. So it isn't as simple as that, though naturally, an elaborate plan that fails to account for time and the unexpected can generally be worse than a more simplistic and ambigous one, especially in a BT, where we have a particularily long amount of time.

Is that new roman nation NPC or PC? I claim it if it is free.

LittleBoots' the Athanoi, so no, it isn't.

How long will the next update cover. Another 400 years?

 

[Kal'thzar]

Das I will have some...well, a LOT of queries for you soon. in about 1 hour 20 mins

 

[LightFang]

Damn. Oh well. I refuse to give up my masked nation. I spent too much bloody creative energy thinking of that idea. >:|

Might I suggest trying it somewhere besides the middle of the most contested sea in the world?

 

[LightFang]

Never, it's important to be annoying to other people.

 

[North King]

Oh well. You have been assimilated. Resistance was futile, and continued resistance would be counterproductive.

 

[Flavius Aetius]

Ho no, my poor, cursed nation! Why, why other nation hates my Nation, why?
Why all my plans go to a bad end? Perhaps i didn't send good orders? Perhaos i don't ever send good orders?
It's probably the second ...

Anyway, vey good update!

 

[ThomAnder]

I would also like to know who various blobs of colour are.. namely:

Who is Purple State in Burma
Who is OrangeishState in Bengal
Who is Sunda? The blue nation around spice islands?

Excellent excellent update. The Far East kicks serious arse.

Man I love China in this nes, Great update (although i've only read the east asian section).

Unlike you two I can't say the same Everything that's been done by moi truly has all crumbled to be usurped by other.... less savory nations. Everything has taken a 180 degree turn from the beginning as my nation is admittedly so weak, disunited and etc etc.

I despise this East Asia passionately

 

[The13thRonin]

Could the; Spanish state, new Italian state, Iberian state and North German state all personal message me? I'd like to open diplomatic channels.

 

[Daftpanzer]

We fought like warrior poets, we fought like Thracians... and won our freedom!

Awesomeness update das!

edit: still not sure if i will continue as Thrace, I need to read the update thoroughly and think about it.

 

[The13thRonin]

Awesomeness update das!

*Hessonians amass at the borders* You were saying dear Thracian's? Your freedom shall be swallowed and we shall grind your villages into the dust! Your past diplomatic insults go not unforgotten.

 

[jeps]

awesome update. the large nation to my south is the Tartar empire, correct?

 

[Daftpanzer]

*Hessonians amass at the borders* You were saying dear Thracian's? Your freedom shall be swallowed and we shall grind your villages into the dust! Your past diplomatic insults go not unforgotten.

Bear in mind that Thracians never sought to attack great Hessonia. It was your apparent inability to control your own military aggression that took us down this road. But Thrace will not be destroyed so easily.

If you are the Liths in bluey green, then i believe that is so.

We shall see... If your people want peace I suggest you give up a substantial amount of land around my capital and your entire Southern coast this seems fair. I should be asking for your complete vassalage but I'm in a kind mood today.
